"constant overreach"? Are you addressing the comment or just getting angry over a perceived slight? They literally said "Granted this only happened recently" but you're lecturing them about how recently this has happened? It's not controversial to say that people not from North Carolina have an opinion of it being place with a history of racism (really, you could say that about just about anywhere).
- sremani 11y agoThis is exactly the overreach I am talking about, inserting social issues into subjects that are not about them or have at the best mild correlation.
- NotSammyHagar 11y agoSocial issues are a symptom of the lack of acceptance of different ideas, which along with access to capital, people with the right education and abilities, along with a core of existing software companies that can calve off people with money and trained developers are some of the main reasons why certain places do succeed as startup incubators. That law was more than some mere pesky "social issue", it is about fundamental human rights.

The demographics of Bay Area founders skews young, rich, pale and male. Women and non-whites tend not to have limited access to VC, as countless blog posts & news articles will attest. Heck, even white males from the 'wrong' schools struggle. So you can strike out diversity as the engine driving the Bay Area, and likely not holding back NC.
